Nokia today starts shipping its flagship phone, the Nokia N8 around the world. "The first Nokia N8 devices have left the factories in Finland and China and are now making their way around the world. First recipients will be those who pre-ordered and with the highest ever pre-order for a Nokia device, there will be plenty of happy Nokia N8 users over the coming weeks," says Nokia.

Being a global device launch, the Nokia N8 is shipping in tens of different languages to dozens of operators around the world. That isn?t something that happens overnight and as factory production ramps up, so will the numbers of trucks leaving with freshly boxed N8s on board.
